      Congrats @Oaktavia !

      I wore Iron Heart 😃

      Blazers and sports coats are great, but I personally find brass buttons (too yacht club) and elbow pads (too professorial) you often find on them to be outdated. I do like unstructured coats for more casual occasions.

      I also like the corduroy one you linked.

      Think it, be it.

          That's fucking vile. We are indeed a "virus with shoes" as Bill Hicks put it. If they can't be bothered to clothe the needy at least recycle them. I don't understand the economics of littering the Chilean desert with them.

          Think it, be it.

            Highly recommend that anyone driving distance to London check out this terrific band March 26-27 of next year:

            https://www.jambase.com/article/billy-strings-tour-dates-london-debut

            They'd fall within the Americana classification with a bluegrass/newgrass/progressive bluegrass base, but Billy has a thrash background too (he does a pretty good heavy metal hair whip when his hair is long enough) that occasionally makes it way in among other influences.

            Tickets go on sale this Friday.

            An original:

            A Rolling Stones cover:

              @mclaincausey I just tried to get tix for both nights, but the pre-sale has sold out. Will be trying again for general admission! He could have played much bigger venues here in the UK!!

                @mclaincausey @IH-GARY  I’m a big Billy Strings fan too. Hoping his Austin City Limits show will help him get the exposure he deserves. I’ve never gotten to see him live but have watched a lot of his performances on YouTube. There are some of him and Tommy Emmanuel that will make most guitarists (particularly acoustic players) want to quit.  He is truly special.

                Hope you can score some tickets Gary!

                  @SKT I just managed to get one for the Sunday night! I will keep trying for the Saturday night as well seeing as he is playing 2 unique sets each evening! Can't wait!

                    Nice!  It’ll be a great couple of shows I’m sure.

                      You are gonna have a blast @IH-GARY ; every night is a completely different set and they have a catalog of probably now hundreds of covers and originals, it is well worth going to multiple shows when they do a run. They play every note like their lives depend upon it. One of my favorite, if not my favorite, touring bands (and they don't even have–or need--a damn drummer!). They cover everything from Pearl Jam* to Sabbath to old timey traditional songs, and Billy, Other Billy (Failing, on banjo), and Jarrod (Walker, on mandolin) write good original songs too, and somehow they blend these extremely disjointed styles of music seamlessly. I bet you get a "London Calling" debut or some other tribute to the city.

                      @SKT selfishly, I really loved being able to see them in intimate venues, but I want them to be as big as they want to be. And yes, you definitely need to go see them. If you like the videos, you'll be blown away by the live experience.

                      I will now stop gushing 😃

                                  I got a pair of jeans from a different very hyped and very popular Japanese brand out of curiosity and I received them today. I absolutely hate the texture and feel of the denim. The threads are really thin, the pockets are unlined, belt loops not tucked into the waistband… etc. Not going to give up my Iron Heart's for that stuff, ever.

                                  Don't ask if I'm selling them, they ain't for sale and I'm not gonna say what brand.  😃 I do like how they fit so I'll probably save them for dates and occasions where I don't want to stink. 😂

                                    Not all brands have the same goals…
                                    That doesn’t necessarily make the less or more quality. I’m wearing mostly repro brand jeans, so those automatically use less heavy denim, cotton stitching etc…

                                    Everyone has their style.

                                      Yep, you're right. There's also a significant difference in cost. But I was just saying I for me, that I wouldn't want to commit to wearing anything else but iron heart, every single day. More or less saying too, I don't get the hype…
